UNSPSC 50361509: Canned or jarred cameo apples

The variety of apples known as cameo apples that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50361509 Canned or jarred cameo apples, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food service procurement, though recent solicitation activity shows demand focused on broader canned fruit categories rather than cameo apples specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission, along with school nutrition programs across multiple states, are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under related canned fruit codes, with school districts and state-operated facilities (correctional institutions, state hospitals, state supported living centers) driving the majority of volume. Work being solicited includes canned applesauce, canned fruit assortments, and supplemental food products meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications, with products required to comply with FDA/USDA standards, be packed in juice, water, or light syrup, maintain minimum one-year shelf life, and meet specific nutritional and quality parameters such as Buy American provisions requiring domestic content of 51 percent or greater for processed items.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered in five truck loads to Salem with bids due July 31, 2026; historical pricing for applesauce was $21.84 per case, awarded to Robbins Sales in June 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables including canned fruit products statewide, with response deadline March 19, 2026, covering 210 line items and a maximum three-year contract value of $4,500,000 across state hospitals and supported living centers. School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), and Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) have issued broader grocery and food procurement solicitations that include canned fruit items as part of larger line-item catalogs. The code shows limited standalone activity specifically for cameo apples; recent solicitations emphasize applesauce, mixed canned fruit, and commodity-grade items with emphasis on USDA compliance and institutional food service delivery rather than branded or specialty apple products.
